No fashionable young New Yorker could get
married in anything but silk underwear. and of
this he must have suits of light and medium
weight, of some delicate tint such shrimp
pink. pearl, heliotrope, rose. Six suits of each

suit, average cost of $40. To these he
can add just as many suits of fancy Isle or bal

Colorow and His Warriors.

DENVER, Col, Aug. IA Glenwood Springs
dispatch says: Senator Eddy, who returned
to-day from White river, met party of sixty
bucks last night who were evidently trying to
join Colorow. The latter has also sent a runner
to his brother at the Uncompahgre agency, ask
ing for assistance and will probably get fifty or
sixty bucks from there. The fact that no cour-
Ter has reached Glenwood Springs from Meeker
since Friday leads the people to believe that the
redskins are holding the roads between those
points. Considerable apprehension is felt for
the settlers around Meeker who failed to reach
town before the trouble began. The Governor
has ordered another company of State militia to
the scene, making 120 in all far sent. A
courier was sent out from Glenwood Springs to-
day, but has not yet returned"
